PUTNEY—The Bandwagon Summer Series continues on Friday, Aug. 14, with an outdoor performance by Toronto-based Bywater Call, a powerhouse seven-piece band whose electrifying blend of Southern soul, roots rock, blues, and Americana has earned them an international following.
The concert begins at 6 p.m. at Putney Inn Field, 57 Putney Landing Road, with gates opening at 5 p.m. Tickets are $24 in advance, $28 at the gate, and free for children under 12. Advance tickets are available at nextstagearts.org.
Known for its emotionally charged performances and exceptional musicianship, Bywater Call delivers a dynamic live show that moves seamlessly from intimate, soul-stirring ballads to high-energy anthems. Fronted by the commanding vocals of Meghan Parnell, the band features rich arrangements of guitar, keyboards, horns, and a driving rhythm section that create a powerful and deeply expressive sound.
Drawing inspiration from classic soul, R&B, roots rock, and Americana, Bywater Call has built a reputation for performances filled with passion, authenticity, and musical chemistry. Following extensive international touring, the band continues to receive worldwide acclaim, including UK Blues Award nominations for International Blues Artist of the Year.
Food will be available from Mama T’s Sweet Spot, and refreshments, including beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, will be sold onsite.
